For Immediate Release September 3rd, 2017Contact: Alicia Bustillos, Vice President of Public Affairs [email protected]

Hurricane Harvey is currently projected to strengthen as it makes its way towards landfall along the Texas Coast sometime this weekend.

For all our sisters who may be affected, please connect with your local authorities to understand potential impact for your respective locations, and prepare yourselves accordingly.

A few safety tips:

Get Prepared: Take action now to be prepared for hurricane season. As the storm approaches, it is often too late to get ready. Make sure you have family evacuation and communications plans, update your emergency supply kit and evaluate your flood insurance needs.

Know your zone. Evacuations are more common than people realize. Make yourself familiar with your community's evacuation zones, so you'll know exactly where to go.

Remember: if a hurricane threatens your community and local officials say it's time to evacuate, don't hesitate -- go early.

Complete a family communication plan. Plan how you will assemble your family and loved ones, and anticipate where you will go for different situations. Get together with your family and agree on the ways to contact one another in an emergency, identify meeting locations, and make a Family Emergency Communication Plan.

Download the FEMA app. The FEMA App includes disaster resources, weather alerts, safety tips, and a new feature that will enable users to receive push notifications to their devices to prepare.

Keep your devices charged up, so that you have a way of contacting family & friends and they have a way to contact you.
